Effects of climate, biotic factors, and phylogeny on allometric relationships: testing the metabolic scaling theory in plantations and natural forests across China

Abstract Background Metabolic scaling theory (MST) is still in debate because observed allometric exponents often deviate from MST predictions, and can change significantly depending on environment, phylogeny, and disturbance. We assembled published scaling exponents from literatures for three allom...
